Adrien Brody is set to join Wes Anderson's next film with Bill Murray and Tilda Swinton. The trio of actors has just premiered their recent collaboration with Wes Anderson in the film The French Dispatch, which screened at the Cannes Film Festival and is expected to release in theaters on October 22, 2021. Brody is an Academy Award winner for The Pianist and has had a long, successful career in film and television. He is also best known for his roles in Midnight in Paris, Houdini, and Peaky Blinders.
Deadline has now brought word that Brody has been cast alongside Murray and Swinton for Anderson's upcoming film, which Anderson will write and direct just like his previous movies. Brody has also previously worked on The Grand Budapest Hotel, Fantastic Mr. Fox, and The Darjeeling Limited, marking his fifth collaboration with Anderson. The highly anticipated new movie is set to shoot in Spain.
Brody has recently kept himself busy with starring in the Marilyn Monroe biographical Netflix film Blonde, expected to release later this year. He will also guest star in season 3 of Succession, portray Pat Riley in an HBO limited series about the LA Lakers in the 1980s, and lead in the Epix horror series Chapelwaite.
Brody, along with many actors like Murray and Swinton, have long been staples in Anderson's films, playing memorable characters that significantly impact the story. While it is unknown what Brody's role will be, it will be exciting to see him reunite with familiar faces in anticipation of Anderson's next project.
